General Information

My plan for next weekend is to attend at least part of Splash at MIT. I don't know how much that will be. There's a session I'd love to go to on Sunday, but I'm not sure I can get in, or that Danger Lad! will sit still for it (and I am totally bummed that the Browncoat Initiation is all booked up). I am not registered (I may need to fix this). My plan is to sit in the parents lounge, exhibiting my child like a small and charming zoo animal, knitting if possible, and talking to people.

If You Have Seen Or Touched Us Lately...

I am so sorry. We have scabies. This is not new - we have all been itchy for quite some time (since mid-September) and it has just taken the medical establishment this long to figure out the cause.

If you or your children have been itchy or rashy, please call your doctor and mention our situation. They assure me that scabies is "less contagious than lice," but there's a lot of room under that particular bar.

The good news is that we will cease to be vectors for parasites by tomorrow.
